Iceberg, Dead Ahead!

Clayton brought home a book on the Titanic from the library and it has thrilled the boys for weeks.  Both he and Malcolm can tell you almost exactly how and why the Titanic sunk after watching whatever videos they could find on National Geographic.  Their new favorite game is building the Titanic out of Duplo, adding an iceberg and then engineering the entire tragedy from start to finish, complete with those poor souls who jumped in the frigid water or plunged to their death when the ship's end went straight up.  Then they "find it" under the water.  They are currently in the bathtub re-enacting the scene once again. They even turn the lights out because the Titanic sunk in the dark. I'm glad they are such sponges for history, I'll just have to work on something not quite so tragic.
